He has made chess mandatory in schools and founded a private school for exceptionally gifted players. "The king is the most important piece," – chant generations of Kalmyk children about to learn the most important rule of chess, but also of political life in their country. Elected president of The Republic of Kalmykia within the Russian Federation in 1993 and staying in office through 2010, Ilyumzhinov required every student to study chess in the first three grades, as part of a wider plan to turn Kalmykia into a future world capital of chess. The game is expected to change everything. As the game clock is set, a fascinating journey into the workings of an authoritarian government begins. 580 Verzio Film Festival Submission 942 |2ddc |cDVD-ROM 952 |00 |10 |40 |50 |70 |8FL |992820FL |bFL |d2016-11-25 |l0 |r2016-11-25 |w2016-11-25 |yDVD-ROM 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_2782_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9149339FL |bFL |d2019-05-10 |l0 |oFL Record 2782 |pHU_OSA_00004389.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2019-05-10 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 Ge3QvnX0 966 True |bHU_OSA_00004389 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
